The overall story is based on the three magic performances of the Four Knights. The plot structure must be meticulous and deliberate. It is intertwined in a way that attracts people one by one, dispels doubts, and punishes and judges. Morgan Freeman and Michael Kane, the two old drama bones who had collaborated in Nolan’s Batman trilogy, once again joined hands to help out, and at the same time played negative roles. Although there are many supporting roles, superb acting skills are the basis. The film has a lot of color, and several times make me really suspicious that one of them is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Just like the routine of a magic show, you need to start with tricks such as playing tricks and turning into a rabbit. The big change to a living person must be left as the finale. Just like the cross talk shakes the burden, the gossip is babbling for a long time, and finally the word "Naolao" is squeezed out to be wonderful. But this film turned the cart before the horse, leaving the most brilliant part at the beginning. The next two shows gradually deviated from the word magic and fell into the pit of high-tech theft, police and robber wars. There are also popular scenes such as indoor hand-to-hand combat and highway chase, but I also appreciate the smirk of the magician while waiting to be handcuffed after the first show, and the confusion, helplessness and resentment of the agents facing this group of people during the interrogation. Hate, that is the charm of cashing out magic. From the end of the first show, standing firmly on the stage and saying, "We are the four knights", to the second show, talking about escaping from the stage while holding a rope, and finally, talking about jumping off the building and quickly retreating, becoming more and more confused. Embarrassing; the amount involved has doubled and increased, but unfortunately the methods have become more conventional and mediocre.
